Important NOTE to International Applicants: (F-1 Student Visas only):A fourth step and application is required of International applicants.

NOTE: If you will require an F-1 Visa to attend the University, you should be aware that the Immigration and Naturalization Service (within the United States Department of Homeland Security) requires specific types of certification and licensure for each degree program before the university can issue SEVIS I-20s. Because we were just recently approved to become a Doctoral Program, our University is currently applying for approval by Immigration to issue I-20s for this new program. This process is a lengthy one and we wanted to alert F-1 Visa students that while we are willing to process your application, if the PT department admits you, we cannot commit to a specific date when we will have approval to admit international F-1 Visa students to this program.

SELECTION PROCEDURES: All application materials are reviewed by the Admissions Committee to rank applicants. Points are assigned for the prerequisite coursework GPA, recommendation forms from two (2) U.S. or Canadian licensed physical therapists and one (1) college level professor, the GRE writing (analytic) score and additional background criteria. The 80 highest ranked applicants will be invited for a panel interview. Interviews are tentatively expected to be conducted in late January or early February of 2016. The top thirty-two (32) applicants will be granted conditional admission, those on the wait list and those not admitted will be notified of their status within two weeks of the final interviews.
